Cycling: A team of four from Hastings and St Leonards Cycling Club rode in the VC Elan third category and juniors 46 mile road race at Mereworth, near Maidstone on Sunday. The unexpectedly large 90 man field produced a few hazards on this hard rolling circuit.

A crash after 18 miles brought down 11 riders, including Mark Knowles, but he eventually rejoined the bunch despite a buckled rear wheel. He chased and out sprinted mot of the small breakaway group to finish third overall. Team mates John Sharples, Frank McCloud and Paul Panagi finished with the main field.

Knowles stays upright

A team of six from Hastings and St Leonards Cycling Club competed in the Kent League two day event at the weekend.

Sixty riders set off on Sunday afternoon to cover the 86k first road race stage based around Benenden in Kent. The cold wet and windy conditions were to take their toll leaving just 24 finishers, including five of the Hastings men.

Mark Knowles finished highest in seventh place, followed by John Sharples ninth, Frank McCleod 12th, Chris Kitchenham 21st and Paul Panagi 22nd. Both Chris and Paul were suffering chest infections and colds.

The following morning a 16k time trial was held at Frant where the intrepid five’s placings were reshuffled with Mark Knowles fifth, Chris Kitchenham ninth, Frank McCleod 13th, John Sharples 15th and Paul Panagi 18th.

With tired legs, 21 riders set off on the afternoon’s 100k final road race stage around Frant and Wadhurst.

All five club members finished with these overall positions: 5 Mark Knowles, 10 John Sharples, 12 Frank McCleod, 15 Chris Kitchenham, 16 Paul Panagi.
